Fall break
House was nice but a few things happened this week. Refrigerator leaked all week even after maintenance man came. TV in one of the rooms never started working. Cockroach in main bathroom upstairs. Pullout coach doesn’t really sleep well or pull out completely. My friends stayed in 6 bedroom newer condo for same price. Tried to stay another night and didn’t get contacted til an hr before checkout so we left. I won’t stay here again.

Very poorly maintained/dirty property
Would never book with Pinkie Flamingo again. House was extremely dirty floors, walls, appliances, grill was almost unusable called for maintenance on it guy came & looked said he'd be back with parts, never seen him again. Also, asked for sleeper sofa mattress to be looked at because it was just wires covered in fabric & he said thats how it was suppose to be. Don't count it as an extra bed it is unusable even by a 5 & 6 year old!! The place needs a professional cleaning, a new grill, new sleeper sofa & to be painted completely inside. Truly discussing place!

Thanksgiving getaway!
The property provided the space we needed for our family of 8. The location and amenities were great! Nice pool and hot tub. Short walk to the beach. Quick drive to shopping and dining. The property does need a little TLC and a deep cleaning With some updates, a good cleaning and paint the property would be 5 stars!

Stay was fine other than cleanliness of property. One bedroom had a tampon stuck to the wall.
Renting wasn’t a problem. Cleanliness was the problem. Tampon stuck to wall in bedroom and looked like poop was smeared on the wall in the hallway. I would consider a new cleaning service for your properties.

Reuniting Sisters and Cousins
The property is in a good location. Definitely want to drive or have a good walk to the public beach. The pool and hot tub is very nice. The code to the door was deleted and we had to call to track the new code down. The kitchen appliances and washer and dryer were nice and updated. We were disappointed with the bathroom washcloths. Most of them looked old or stained; not very appealing to use. The bathroom outlets kept tripping. Faucets were loose and the downstairs toilet was loose. Some of the bed linens were stained which makes you question laying on them and many of the bed pillows were so thin, we had to double up decorative pillows which were not very comfortable. The Wi-Fi connection did not show up and without it, there was no tv (which was ROKU, in which we had no idea how to use). When we called for assistance, we were not able to get much further.

needs improvement
mattress in second bedroom with full bath needs to be replaced. It dipped down in the center. It needs some new paint in certain areas. The biggest thing was no regular TV .We could only get old Netflix movies. It rained most of the time we were there so we stayed in the house a lot. Would we stay again? Absolutely Not

Awesome VRBO for Large Group
We had a bachelorette party of 11 ladies stay at this VRBO! It was perfect for us all and accommodates us all pretty well. Plenty of towels, hot water, etc. We loved the house, neighborhood and trolly service to the beach!! The living area was perfect for all of us to hangout together and go our separate ways at night. Pinkie was very accommodating, we had a question and she answered immediately. The situation was handled within a few minutes. I would love to stay here again. Driveway was perfect for 2 vehicles.

Decent
Good location for shopping and entertainment. Not close to the beach but shuttle was easy and convenient. Suggest calling a day or two before to get chairs and umbrella set up ahead of time if going to the beach. Lay out of house was great and very spacious! House is especially good if you have teens that need a separate place to hang out upstairs. But can hear all footsteps from upstairs. In need of small maintenance repairs and carpets need replacing. Parking is scarce if you have more than 2 vehicles! Pool is nice and big. Overall fair price for what we got and what we needed. We enjoyed our trip.

Great location
The location is excellent, about a 10 minute walk to the beach. The home leaves a little to be desired. The beds and pillows were horribly uncomfortable and hard as a rock. The home was clean but needs some freshening up. Carpet getting worn in bedrooms and walls need painted. You’ll need to supply all your own spices, towels, napkins, soap, etc. the balcony upstairs is a nice place to sit and have coffee in the morning though could use a few more chairs, vs the two that are there. The pool and staff is extremely friendly and the property management personnel were responsive and courteous.

Great size and close to the beach but.....
We were so excited to travel to a new destination. The day of our departure I realized I never got the check-in info. I could not reach the property contact so I had to call VRBO directly. It was very frustrating. I spent about an hour on the phone to start my vacation!!! I finally got the info after many back and forth calls. The house was in a great location and did meet our needs as far as size, etc. The pool was nice to have as well for the grandkids. However, it could use some deep cleaning and some minor repairs. A lot of things felt and looked dirty. Towel racks were loose, one of toilets rocked back and forth, etc. Also, we have stayed at other beach locations and had many other "nice to haves" that this place did not (beach towels for use, ziploc bags, laundry detergent, etc.). The little extras g a long way when you are traveling and with a large group. Overall, for what I paid for this rental I did not feel it was worth the value. The destination however, is amazing! Destin, FL is beautiful!
